| My x burkwoodii lasted about 7 years before up and keeling over. That followed a mild winter where for the first ( and subsequently, last) time it stayed evergreen. The very heady fragrance filled the yard and wafted down the block on calm days. They do require impeccable drainage. tj |

| Even in my zone 8 they are seldom fully evergreen - "semi-evergreen" is the term they use, but they tend to lose more leaves than they hold on to, even in relatively mild winters :-) As noted, good drainage is the overriding factor on how well they do or how long they survive. IME, the summer blooming types (x burkwoodii, x transatlantica) are a lot less fussy than Dapne odora or - heaven forbid! - Daphne cneorum. Ken, yours is looking quite robust. Nice plant! |
